One of the things as a group we have discovered is that the kids can get a little crazy after they have been playing on their x-box for several hours. Maybe the several hours bit has more to do with it, but never the less, x-boxes seem to come under a great deal of scrutiny [...]

There are lots of reasons why we don’t train even though we know we should. Motivation and environment play the biggest part and wedged in there somewhere is attitude.
